EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Locre South (Kemmel) Demarcation Stone, a poignant reminder of the historic events that once transpired in the landscapes of Flanders, Belgium. The image, taken in 2016, depicts the weathered stone monument standing proudly against the backdrop of the rolling hills and open fields, a scene that has remained largely unchanged since the end of the First World War. The Demarcation Stone, also known as the Kemmel Stone or the Ieper-Ypres Line, marked the boundary between the French and German lines during the war. It was erected in 1919, following the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, to symbolize the new border between the two nations. The stone's inscription reads "Ieper-Ypres," reflecting the Belgian town that lies just a few kilometers to the south. The photograph transports us back in time to the early 20th century, when the horrors of trench warfare and the devastating battles of Ypres and Passchendaele left an indelible mark on the land and its people. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War, as well as the enduring resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The Locre South (Kemmel) Demarcation Stone stands as a testament to the historical significance of the region, and continues to draw visitors from around the world who seek to pay their respects to the fallen soldiers and to honor the memory of a time that forever changed the course of history. The photograph captures the essence of this powerful and moving monument, inviting us to reflect on the past and to remember the lessons it holds for the future.
